"We're live-blogging the Oscars -- hopefully this year's show won't run

Best Picture," said Spade.
The live Oscar blog on http://www.theshowbizshow.com will make everyone a part

Show's" picks for winners as well as humorous explanations of their picks.
It will also feature commentary, news and opinion.
Spade and his crew will shine their klieg light on Hollywood's most
glamorous night. They will answer the questions you always wanted to ask
and express what you were thinking, such as: "For everyone out there
wondering: yes, this is Kate Winslet's fifth nomination for an Academy
Award. She has never won. We think this is finally the year that Winslet
loses for the sixth time."
"The Showbiz Show with David Spade" is a half-hour, topical, comedy
series about Hollywood, celebrity and the entertainment industry. "The
Showbiz Show" calls it like it sees it, cutting through the industry hype
with a host who knows all about the business from the inside and provides
the tell-it-like-it- is voice of comedy that is desperately needed in
today's celebrity-obsessed world.
"The Showbiz Show" highlights all of Hollywood's self-importance and
hypocrisy by using actual footage, clips and on-location field pieces,
along with celebrity guests and comic personalities who appear as critics
and correspondents. The second season included appearances by Jessica Alba,
